Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg has been named Person of the Year by Time magazine, prompting praise and mockery over the pick.

Thunberg, who is 16, won international attention earlier this year when she appeared at a United Nations conference and scolded the body for allowing the planet to die and, soon after, the human race, too…

Author and JunkScience.com founder Steve Milloy, who is a climate change skeptic, says Thunberg is being used as a puppet and Time, meanwhile, is using its annual award to push its climate agenda.

“Children die every day from malnutrition, and malnutrition is a preventable problem,” he observes, “but the world is not really addressing that because all this attention and money is going to climate.”
